added very materially TO the enjoyment
Of the occasion. At the concert on
Thursday evening several fine guartettes,
DUETS and solos, both vocal and fnstru-
mental were finely rendered and all did so
well il would be difficult to give any one
special prominence. The Ladies Aid

provided, and were much praised by the
partakers. The convention was under
